Kinnear To Bring Cattermole To Newcastle?

22 June 2013 02:04

Sunderland manager Paolo Di Canio has reportedly made it clear that former captain Lee Cattermole can leave the Stadium of Light this summer ... and Joe Kinnear could take him to NEWCASTLE!

Kinnear has long been a fan of the tough-tackling midfielder, with the former Wimbledon boss once championing the former Smog-monster to get an England call up.

The only problem to Kinnear is the player's recent injury problems, and it must be a major concern to Di Canio too, who seemed keen on keeping him at the Stadium of Shite.

Something has obviously changed his mind.

The 25-year-old endured a season blighted by injury before Di Canio took charge in April, making just 14 appearances in all competitions.

Di Canio is in the midst of a complete squad overhaul on Wearside and does not view Cattermole as part of his future plans, according to The Mirror.

Cattermole joined the club for a fee of £6m in 2009 and was intent on fighting for his Sunderland future last month, putting off a holiday to focus on rehabilatation from knee surgery.

That commitment has not thought to have changed Di Canio's mind, with the Italian actively searching for new central midfield options in the close season.

But Cattermole is arguably the No 1 hate figure of the Geordie faithful ... and this move could be one step too far for Kinnear.
